/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The history does not record the fact of the Armenian
Genocide, Turkish parliament speaker Bulent Arinc stated during
a press conference in Baku. In his words, the Genocide is a fable
invented by the Armenian Diaspora, which for many years has spread
propaganda against Turkey. Turkey is ready to open the archives for
all the interested persons, he said. “However the familiarizing with
the documents can reveal that the Genocide was perpetrated against
the Turkish but not the Armenian population”, Arinc said adding that
the issue of “genocide of Azeris in Hodzhalu” will be discussed in
the Turkish parliament on February 26.
